I've only seen one other person mention this, but there's no locking mechanism for the support legs when you turn it into a bed. So if you sit on one of the ends, or turn over in your sleep, one or both ends collapse with no warning, dumping you on the floor. I've tried tightening everything up, but it made no difference. I've come up with a potential solution of putting a rubber bath mat under the leg part, and then also using a door stop to keep the leg part open (the door stop by itself wasn't enough, but on the no slip surface it seems okay). The problem now is that I can't bring myself to offer this as a bed to any guests because I don't trust that it won't still collapse. If this were a $100 experiment, I wouldn't mind finding ways to make it work, but for $400, I really resent having to figure out how to make this safe. As just an ottoman, it's nice. I use it against the wall with the pillow as extra seating in my office, and for that it's great. For guests, we gave up on this and actually went with an folding metal bed frame and put an ikea foam mattress on it. The frame folds completely flat, and the frame and mattress both fit under a regular bed. (If anyone knows a good way to keep the from collapsing. Please let us know! Thanks!
